Hotel Euro Pardubice

So I'm pretty proud I was able to get a few of my coworkers to go visit Kutna Hora today. We got together at the main train station in Prague around 9.30am, and took a train at 10am. It was only 100 Czech Krown round trip, about 5 euros.

I had brought it up a few days ago, and it was cool to get a few of them motivated to check it out. It's a small town about an hour away from Prague by train, with beautiful small roads and just a typical Czech town ...

A late start at 11. I am starving with my need for breakfast. We opt for sausage on the run to the train station for our day trip to Kutna Hora. It is excellent with a choice of 5 types.

Kutna Hora is a Unesco town, 1 hour by train from Prague. A nice day trip. The first stop, a 15 minute walk from the station, is a Cathedral, the oldest Baroque one in Europe. It has recently completed a very long restoration. The highlight though, was the Sedlec ...

Hřensk o is the town that we set off from. A tiny little touristy town which caters for all the German tourists. You can buy anything from a jesus statue to bras & underwear in the Vietnamese stalls that line the main thoroughfare.

I need to steal some photos from my friends as I never have any photos with me in them!

... promptly, we start watching the tv which we claim not to have missed watching in the least, and although it is entirely dubbed in czech, we dont let this worry us and start making up our own commentary and storylines instead.

still, we cant find a laundry so give up and try some handwashing - hands are now too sore so we laze about before attempting the 16km walk a day later than planned - the buvar brewery ...

I woke up this Sunday to Joe asking me if I wanted to take a drive to go see the bone church in Kutna Hora. So, we hopped in the car and off we went. It was about an hour and fifteen minute drive to Kutna Hora. When we got to the town, we weren't sure where the church was, but after driving around for a while, we found it. After arriving at the bone church, I ...

... at this we went into the town itself where we looked at the architecture, saw the Italian court and the cathedral. We also had a lovely Czech meal of meat and dumplings. Back in the city we went to Cafe Imperial for dinner and I ate Tirimasu (yummy!). The next day we decided to explore the other side of the Vltava river in Prague ...

... with him, so this place became quite famous and many people wanted to be buried here. There was a plauge and the number increased. Soon the church had to decrease its land area because of some politics. And the bones of the people who wanted to be buried there were piling up. So someone decided to make them into art. The building that currently exsists there is about 500 years old or so. It is quite small. But when ...

... towards the bus station and stopped for water and ice cream, which turned out to cause us to be about 2 minutes late for our bus that would have taken us back to Prague. The next bus wasn't for an hour and a half, so we walked around for a little bit more and chilled beneath some park trees. The trip back had a bit of a dodgy bus driver and he ended up dropping us at a station on the outskirts of Prague instead of at the central bus station that we had ...

... north/northwest. The sinking feeling set in, only to be confirmed once the conductor walked up. In Czech: "to Prague?" I nodded. "This train doesn't go to Prague. Get off at the next station." Great. So we get off at this puny, po-dunk depot in the middle of some non-descript Bohemian village and quickly find out that we have to wait another hour there for the next train to Prague. So much for doing anymore sightseeing around town before ...

We took a day trip to the city of Kutna Hora. This is a small town one hour east of Prague. Kutna Hora is know for two main things. The silver mines, were closed when we were there, and Ossuary Sedlec. The Ossuary Sedlec holds a graveyard chapel ...
